'''Banik Kelrada''' was the [[Jedi Grandmaster|Grandmaster]] of the [[Jedi Order]] during the [[Alsakan Crisis]] who later operated as a rogue [[Dark Jedi]] during the [[Hutt War]]. 

==Biography==
Banik Kelrada was born on [[Coruscant]] in [[13,045 BBY]] and was taken into the Jedi Order at a young age. As a [[Jedi Padawan]], he and his [[Banik Kelrada's master|master]] were captured by slavers and held as slaves in the [[Outer Rim Territories]]. He returned to the Order after his escape, becoming a [[Jedi Knight]].<Ref name="ThirdProfile" />

In the years that followed, Banik was promoted to [[Jedi Master]] and became the head of the [[Coruscant Jedi Council]], giving him a seat on the [[Jedi High Council]]. Shortly before the [[Alsakan Crisis]], Banik became the Grandmaster of the Order. He attempted to broker a peace between the [[Galactic Republic]] and the [[Alsakan Union]] when the war broke out, but the [[Alsakan Vicar]] [[Lharra (Alsakan Crisis)|Lharra]] was [[Meeting on Ossus|assassinated]] by her own aides on [[Ossus]] before she could tell her people she agreed to end the war. In the [[Conclave on Ossus|Jedi conclave]] that followed, Banik's thoughts were manipulated by Jedi Knight [[Sarina Lightell]], causing him to lash out and attack Master [[Edo Tesu]] and label him a traitor. Banik fled Ossus and the Order after Tesu was found dead the next day, as Banik was implicated in the murder.<Ref name="FourthProfile" />

Banik spent the two decades that followed searching for Lightell and the [[Dark Jedi of the Bogan|Ospion Guardians]], which were created as a direct result of the conclave. He became a rogue Dark Jedi during this time, lusting to seek revenge against those that caused him to leave the Order. In [[12,979 BBY]], during the [[Hutt War]], Banik successfully captured and murdered Lightell before attempting to form an alliance with the Dark Jedi of the Bogan.<Ref name="FourthProfile" />
